S3 E13 Allen on TV

Allen watches a 50s sitcom, but he’s too invested in it to pay attention to the other 2. He gets hypnotized by the TV later on. Then the theme plays. Allen is going to be late to school, and Robbie brings up that he has to do an oral report, which he didn’t study for the night before.

At family breakfast, Allen watches TV again. Mr. Stevenson arranges a golf game with Manfred and Robbie, after which Manfred hits a golf ball in the house. Allen gives a TV-like oral report, which Robbie is not impressed by. He then goes right back to watching TV, which makes Robbie mad. Allen misses wrestling practice. In the attic, he’s still watching TV and Robbie turns it off. But when she leaves, he finds himself watching it again, and the TV sucks him into the screen.

Robbie and Josh find Allen in the screen, and he doesn’t want to help himself get out.
Allen asks Josh to put on Life with Loretta, which he does after some convincing.
Mr. Stevenson teaches Robbie how to play golf with Manfred there too. On TV, Allen plays bongos on the 50s shows until he starts to fade out since his energy core is corrupted. Josh tries to help Allen, so he calls Robbie and she ditches her dad.
Robbie and Josh set up a high tech thing to get him out of the TV. It works, but the TV breaks. The dad comes back to the house and finds the 3 on the attic couch. They get grounded.

My Allen Strange Story + Show Review

I was born during the original run of the show, so I never had a chance to watch it on TV, and I was a huge fan of Nickelodeon as a kid, but from 11 1/2 and-a-half to 21-and-a-half I didn’t watch it.  I got back into Nick thanks to Drake & Josh, and I haven’t looked back since.  Aside from Allen Strange, I watch Drake & Josh and Double Dare pretty regularly and sometimes iCarly, Victorious, Big Time Rush, Legends of the Hidden Temple and Kenan & Kel when it comes to Nick. I didn’t watch Allen Strange until 2025 because the a lot of the series (including the finale) was lost media and I didn’t want to watch a show with missing episodes, especially if I had no way of knowing how the series was going to end. I made this blog to one, show my appreciation for this great show and two, serve as an archive for the show if it ever gets taken down again. I liked a lot about this show.  I liked all 3 of the main characters & Hamilton, the acting, the writing, the pac...

S3 E17 Life of the Party

Allen eats pop rocks with soda, and bubbles of his head form Xelan style. Then the theme plays. Josh needs someone to watch him during Robbie’s track thing, so Allen gets Manfred. They get Mr. Stevenson’s credit card. On the walk home from school, Josh talks to Plato while Hamilton gets nervous when Allen brings up his birthday. Josh talks about throwing a party, which Allen thinks would be good for Hamilton. At home, Manfred blocks the TV screen from Josh and Allen’s video game. After Josh suggests that Manfred try on Mr. Stevenson’s clothes, him and Allen order food from a bunch of places. Mr. Stevenson calls Manfred and he lectures the two boys after they make a mess and are late for school. Allen and Josh hang out with Plato as Josh prepares his gaming thumb. Hamilton comes to the house and is surprised with a birthday cake, which brings back PTSD of a house fire to him and he freaks out. Manfred quickly ends the party, but more people come anyway. Josh tricks Manfred into thinking...

Character Review: Robbie Stevenson

  Robbie is a 15 year old girl played by the obscure actress Erin J. Dean.  She’s a surfer, she’s on the track team and she also makes jewelry. Supposedly she has bad grades on the show, to the extent that she was excited to get a B in one episode (I don’t remember which one) because she had never gotten a grade that high in her life, and she was 15. I didn’t see her as stupid. Robbie may not always get along with her brother Josh, and sometimes even Allen, but they always find their way back to each other. The friendship between Robbie and Allen was so close that I was surprised that they didn’t kiss by the end of the show like Aang and Katara did in Avatar’s finale. Robbie has her angry moments and she can usually win an argument, but she’s usually calm and when she’s calm, she’s a friendly and pleasant person. 95% of her actions are on the side of good, and when they aren’t, they’re usually not too bad to begin with. Just selfish teenage girl BS, not actual evil like Sam Pu...
